2010 Vallein Tercinier Cognac Domaine Des Forges Napoleon Vieille Reserve
EXTRA OLD COGNAC
XO means Extra Old in Cognac terms, so I was eager to try and judge myself how good or bad it was. Made from 20 30 years old vines, this was a family run Cognac house that has been ongoing for 5 generations, admirable stamina!
Wasn’t quite my type of Cognac, it was sharp and attacking, with heavy vanilla tastes, and the alcohol was too much to cause chokes. I would expect Cognac to be sophisticated and complex, this one definitely needs improvement as it was a tad too simple.
